‘It should work’ on a clean installation, I use a translation for approx half the sites I develop bbPress and it works perfectly. I just tested Slovak and is working as expected 🙂

I found the issue… You need to name the files bbpress-sk_SK.mo and bbpress-sk_SK.po using the _ underscore character not the - hyphen.

I have never tried the ‘Polylang’ plugin and I had a quick look in their support forums but couldn’t find any information if they support bbPress or not, maybe posting a question in their support forums may get an answer from others who have tried and had success or not, at least that way you can find out if Polylang is compatible with bbPress.

Take a look at the following plugins:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-vip-support-plugin/ (You need to get an updated version of this via the support forums for this to work https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbpress-vip-support-plugin)

bbPress is a 100% actively developed plugin and is compatible with a huge percentage of the ~2,500 themes on WordPress.org, I suggest you contact your themes support forum and ask for some advice on using bbPress with that theme.

[piratescott]

Resolved. I used https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-have-created-a-bbpress-starter-theme-with-a-phpbb-look-and-feel/.

[inventor1]

I guess I can just wait 6 months to 2 years for bbpress developers to fix this issue, lol, it appears bbpress is still being worked on and developed lol.

[inventor1]

update: I tried with renaming the page.php from twenty twelve theme and twenty eleven theme and the same thing happens with the user profile pages, so that means that bbpress is not compatible with the newer themes??

[inventor1]

Can you guys look at the forum now, I included the bbpress.php as mentioned above. The navigation in the user profiles works like before but everything is messed up a bit.

[Robin W]

Your arcade-basic theme claims to be compatible with bbpress, so I’d also look at plugins

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

[Robin W]

ok, can you look at

Codex

getting started part 1, and see if anything in there helps

Come back

@blankstage – great – I only started with wrodpress and bbpress 13 months ago, and have learnt a fantastic amount since then !

Hello. I do not want to bother you with basics, however I tied Slovak and French translation and non of them worked.

I did everything according http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/ and no translation appears.

I downloaded translation files (po and mo) from http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x (bbpress-2.5.x-sk.mo, bbpress-2.5.x-sk.po), I moved the files to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ and rename it to bbpress-sk-SK.mo and bbpress-sk-SK.po (I also tried names bbpress-sk.mo and bbpress-sk.po).

What I did wrong?

I use WP 3.5.1. with bbpress 2.5.3. I use also polylang module. All translation Slovak, France … works just the translation of bbpress do not.

Just to identify the problem I tried to install your module to WP 3.8 clear installation (with out polyalang) and same result, that translation do not appears.

I believe that it works, since you jut few people ha problem wit translation (http://bbpress.org/forums/search/translation/) but I did everything according manual and it does not work for me.

Thank you.

Hey Guys!

I am new to using BBpress. I have been learning a little bit each day and you guys rock!

My theme is DIVI from elegant themes.

Here is the start of my open forum:
http://blankstageproductions.com/forums/forum/bsp/

When I went to see how the forum looked on my smartphone it looked odd. All the words are bunched up on the RIGHT side of the screen making it difficult to read. Is there a plugin or some CSS coded I can drop in? I have done several searches but may not be looking in the right place for this.

For CSS I have learned to drop in code using the ePanel in the theme. I found a thread here with code, copied it in and the code took pretty well. I still have so much to learn in terms of CSS and how to change it but figure as long as the ePanel works I should be good.

[Stephen Edgar]

dear Stephen don’t be angry …english is not my language

Do not worry about that, I understand you fine 🙂

Edit: Your MySQL is Excellent 😉

Forums and Topic status = Done (F_TOPICS & F_COUNT)

Forum Topics and Replies Counts = Done (T_REPLIES)

Last Reply Date = Done (T_LAST_POST)

Due to limitations with the importer configuration we can’t include the FORUM_TOTALS or FORUM_CATEGORY tables. You will need to manually reassign your your forum categories after importing, usually there is only a small number of these so this shouldn’t be much of an issue. The ‘Total’ Counts’ are also not actually needed, we do this slightly different and are recalculated by bbPress after the import has finished with the ‘Repair Tools’.

Edit: After the import has finished we actually recount all the ‘counts’ so these are not very important to the import, they kind of just help a few things on the way.

Hi,

I recently installed bbpress onto a newly created wordpress website, I’ve read through loads of different forums on 404 errors but can’t seem to solve this:

When I click on any forum I have created the next page is a 404 page not found error.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The error can be seen here:

mk2.club/forums/

just click on the test forum

Thanks

[Brent Brooks]

Thanks Robin – I am going to try and contribute to some of the threads in hopes I can gain more knowledge. You and Stephen seem really like great help here! I need to start a few tickets I think but want to read more threads to get more of a feel. Loving the BBpress install and I can’t wait to have some deep discussions on my forum.

[piratescott]

I’m using simple local avatars and bbPress and they seem to work together (I uploaded avatars in the bbPress profile page and it worked without gravatar)

[inventor1]

actually just tried it still breaks the whole bbpress section of the site…

[yeahman45]

is there a reason why visual editor is disabled by default? ( not stable? ).

Is there a quote plugin that is compatible with the visual editor? the one with GD bbpress works only with the non-visual editor

[gianjj]

dear Stephen don’t be angry …english is not my language 😛
..however…

FORUM_FORUM => F_TOPICS
This information is refer to all topics (Only Topic) in specific forum ex: “Forum_name => Total Number of topic”

FORUM_FORUM => F_COUNT
This information is refer of all replies (Only Reply) in specific forum ex: “Forum_name => Total Number of replis”

I think a sum of this two information give us a total like here, ex: “Troubleshooting => 30,051”

================

In this Table FORUM_TOTALS, Snitz save information of whole BB, a sum of all replies and all topics
FORUM_TOTALS => T_COUNT whole topic
FORUM_TOTALS => P_COUNT whole replies

================

About FORUM_TOPICS => T_REPLIES
is this field Snitz save number of replies relate to single topic ex this one:
“Documented import from snitz access database” > “18 replies”

================

with minor importance, also stored in this table FORUM_TOPICS we have

T_LAST_POST_AUTHOR ID value of last member have posted reply
ex: Last reply from: Stephen Edgar

T_LAST_POST data value of last reply added (same format yyyymmddhhmmss)
ex: Last activity: 5 hours, 57 minutes ago

T_LAST_POST_REPLY_ID ID value of last reply added actually used for link in email (?)
ex: Post Link: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/documented-import-from-snitz-access-database/#post-146492

[nirgalo]

Robin, Stephen, thanks for your messages. If have added a comment to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1937 with suggestions regarding performance issues and plugin compatibility.

[Robin W]

no plugin, but this page shows how to add them using code

(I haven’t quite finished it, but it should work!)

Custom Capabilities

Hi Stephen,
Thank you for the reply, due to the GD press attachment uploads files after clicking on submit, it will never work like WYSIWYG editor, and as a support plugin they will follow bbpress rules.

I guess I will need another plugin which allows user box by account id and stocks personal images. This may work with the default TinyMCE by inserting uploaded images.

[hamsterdj]

I’m having the same problem here. When user enters nickname and email address to register, they get redirected to the “default_site_domain/wp-signup.php“, where they have to re-enter everything. It’s very confusing for users wanting to participate on forums to say the least.

This situation also creates a problem for when a site with forum uses different language than the default site, as mentioned here.

Can one of the bbPress developers please give us some pointers, or at least tell us that this is not a common problem and we’ll have to figure out why this is happening on our own? We love bbPress and we’re hoping now to get some love back. 🙂

@jeffacubed Have you made any progress with this matter? I’m still researching…

Oh, and I’m running WordPress 3.9 Multisite, bbPress 2.5.3.

[Stephen Edgar]

OK, try this instead, put this code in the bbpress.php file instead:

<?php
/**
 * bbPress wrapper template.
 */

get_header(); ?>

<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

	<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

[inventor1]

If u look at the page source, it appears the theme has hijacked the bbpress user profile page with some weird vcard stuff…

I can offer 100 paypal to anyone who helps me fix this issue.
